&Quot; if I had seized the opportunity to cultivate a cultivation technique or a spell, the system would definitely give priority to detoxify me. Taking a poison pill would not only not interrupt the system’s cultivation, but it would also make things more uncontrollable. &Quot;
“However, alchemy and weapon forging are different from real cultivation. As long as the poison doesn’t take effect immediately, the system will continue to refine pills and equipment as per normal. If the poison takes effect midway, it will immediately interrupt the system’s control!”
&Quot; next, I just have to continue using this method to test the time of the poison and the duration of the pill refinement. Then, I don’t have to worry about any accidents during the pre-selection. &Quot;
At the thought of this, PEI Ling’s mood brightened.
He had thought of this idea when he was on the spiritual boat. However, he didn’t have the chance to test it when he was making the foundation building elixir. Later on, he was worried that Shi Wanli would secretly monitor him, so he didn’t test the poison elixir.
Now that he had confirmed his safety, he naturally had to quickly verify his thoughts.
From the looks of it, as long as he grasped the right timing, this method would be very effective!
Thus, PEI Ling continued to consume the second poison pill …
A day passed by quickly.
The next morning, PEI Ling walked out of the pill refining room with a calm expression.
At this moment, he had already swallowed ten poison pills of different toxins and ten detoxify poison pills.
These 20 pills were all wrapped in saber intent and true essence, preventing the medicinal power from being dissolved in his body.
Unless he personally released the true essence and saber intent that sealed the pill.
After yesterday’s test, he found out that if he used the system to take over his elixir refinement, as long as he had enough true core strength during the process, the system would not take away the true core strength he used to seal the elixir.
Therefore, in the upcoming alchemy conference, he only needed to remove the seal on a poison pill before he started refining the pills. Then, he would use the system to take over. When the pill was completed and the poison broke out, he would remove the seal on a poison-repelling pill and use the poison-repelling pill to detoxify the poison … This way, he could safely use the system to complete the entire process of refining the pills.
Just as he walked out of the alchemy room, Shi Wanli, who had returned, immediately came up to him and said, ” “Master Wang, please take a look.”
As he spoke, he took out an ancient-looking three-legged pill furnace from his storage bag.
This pill furnace was bronze in color and was engraved with the image of a child holding a Zoysia. It was also inlaid with a circle of night pearls.
It looked ancient and elegant.
Shi Wanli handed it over to PEI Ling. &Quot; this grade eight pill furnace was just taken out from the warehouse by Chan Lou. It is the best pill furnace that can be found in bamboo city. Of course, compared to Grandmaster’s alchemy skills, it’s still an insult.”
&Quot; don’t worry, master. I’ll prepare a better one for you after the preliminary selection! &Quot;
The best pill furnace that could be found in bamboo city?
PEI Ling immediately relaxed and nodded.”Many thanks.”
Shi Wanli saw that there was still some time left and asked, ” “Master, do you want to try it first?”
Hearing this, PEI Ling shook his head. Every time he refined a pill, he would have to use poison. Why would he torment himself for no reason?
“There’s no need for that. Let’s go to the audition first.”
Seeing how confident Master Wang was, Shi Wanli smiled and replied, ” “Good! Grandmaster, please follow me. ”
???
Ying city’s hundred workers house was located in the north of the city. It was an independent Yamen, surrounded by an open space, and even the vegetation was particularly sparse.
Before they even got close, they could already smell a strange mix of smells. It was like the smell of alchemy, weapon forging, talisman making … All of them failed. Although it was not pungent, it was not a good feeling.
It was no wonder that no one lived near this hundred works banner.
Very quickly, the two of them arrived at the entrance of the hundred worker Gu.
During the preliminary selection, there were quite a few alchemists who came and went.
The vast majority of alchemists came alone, and a portion of them, like PEI Ling, had someone accompanying them.
However, the guards at the door stopped everyone outside the pill refiners, regardless of whether they were Immortals or mortals. They explained over and over again, ” “During the pre-selection, there will be many alchemists. The hundred works banner will temporarily only accept alchemists. The rest of you, stop!”
Seeing this, Shi Wanli tried to make an exception,”I am Chan Lou …”
However, before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by the other party, ” “This is the Holy decree.”
Shi Wanli immediately turned serious and apologized to PEI Ling, ” “Master Wang, it seems that I can’t continue to accompany you. Please enter by yourself.”
The guard at the door immediately added, ” Alchemist, you don’t have to worry. There are students of the Academy who are responsible for guiding you inside. You don’t have to worry about not knowing how to get in. &Quot;
&Quot; if you have any other needs, as long as it is within reason, the hundred worker Gu will also provide them. &Quot;
Hearing this, PEI Ling slightly nodded his head and said to Shi Wanli,”Thank you, tower master. In that case, I’ll go in alone.”
Hence, after saying goodbye, he walked into the hundred worker Gu alone.
As soon as he crossed the threshold, the smell that had been lingering around him disappeared instantly.
What replaced it was a refreshing feeling.
PEI Ling was not unfamiliar with this feeling. When he was in the top cabin of the Zhu family’s spiritual boat, there was a similar formation that filtered the sea breeze.
After entering, the first thing they saw was a huge embossed sculpture wall. On it were engraved various skills such as pill refining, talisman making, weapon casting, beast taming, feeding, and manipulation … All of them were vivid and lifelike.
Turning around the reflective wall was a very spacious courtyard, surrounded by red flowers and green willows. There were also many colorful birds perched on the branches. He wasn’t afraid when he saw people coming, and even started to play tactful.
PEI Ling casually sized her up before walking towards the door of drooping flowers behind the courtyard.
Behind the drooping flower gate was a large building with half-rolled bamboo curtains. A row of young cultivators sat in front of them. They were all wearing white and blue clothes, with a white background and blue patterns of cranes on the outside.
The spiritual vigor around these cultivators was pure and lively, and it was obvious that their cultivation techniques were not bad.
After they sat at the long table, they saw PEI Ling enter and asked briefly, ” “Participate in the preliminary auditions?”
“That’s right,” PEI Ling nodded.
“Please come over and register.” The cultivator closest to him said calmly, ” name, cultivation level, age, where are you from … &Quot;
After PEI Ling was done with the registration, he did not even need to verify it. He directly gave him a jade pendant and pointed to a long corridor with a purple silk ribbon hanging on it. “Walk along the long corridor. Remember, line up according to first come, first served. Whoever jumps the queue and causes trouble will be disqualified from the pill discussion ceremony.”
PEI Ling took the jade pendant, thanked him, and continued to walk forward according to his instructions.
At the end of the corridor was a small courtyard.
The gate of the courtyard was wide open, but there was a thin layer of mist that permeated the door frame, isolating the inside from the outside and blocking the line of sight.
There was already a long line at the entrance. Many alchemists were dressed in different clothes, but the only similarity was that they all exuded a faint medicinal fragrance.
Most of these alchemists had serious expressions, and some of them even stretched out their hands and gestured in the air, as if they were afraid that they would forget the method and fail the selection.
Occasionally, some of them who seemed more confident closed their eyes to rest, or they looked around and assessed the situation.
When he saw PEI Ling, perhaps because he felt that PEI Ling’s temperament did not seem like an Alchemist and he was also young, he did not pay much attention to him and just passed him by.
In addition to the pill refiners waiting in line to enter the selection, there were also several young cultivators standing to the side, dressed in white and blue robes with white flags and blue Crane patterns.
These cultivators all had serious expressions and a respectful posture. When they saw PEI Ling approaching, they all turned their gazes away.
When PEI Ling walked to the back of The Last Alchemist and started to line up, he gradually retracted his gaze.
In addition, a blue-robed cultivator was sitting cross-legged under a tree not far away. Several white patterns were embroidered on the hem of his clothes. He had a square face, a straight nose, and a wide mouth. His eyebrows were full of righteousness, and his long hair was neatly combed with a Silver Crown. At this moment, his eyes were slightly closed, as if he was sleeping. He was resting.
His body exuded an extremely powerful fluctuation. He was a high-level cultivator!
PEI Ling took a look. In his senses, the difference in strength between the two was like an ant facing an elephant.
Although the other party was unmoved by the alchemist’s sizing up, PEI Ling was shocked and hurriedly retracted his gaze, not daring to make any further actions that would attract the other party’s attention.
At this time, a gentle voice came from the small courtyard, ” “The next batch of alchemists, please enter.”
The line immediately moved forward, and in a short while, forty alchemists tidied up their clothes and solemnly walked into the mist.
